A member asked:
Is it possible to have a sinus infection with a clear discharge?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes. If your sinuses are truly blocked there may be no discharge of any sort. It would be unusual but it could happen. A CT scan through the sinuses or x-ray would confirm or exclude the issue when symptoms were present.

Yes, clear secretions are many times seen in sinus infections, with the majority being viral in nature.
